Following on from the initiatives that have been developed in terms of diversifying Ecopetrol´s energy mix, two large studies were commenced on the use of water resources in the operations fields in the southern area, and the measurement of the solar and wind resource, from which actions will result to then be carried out in 2013.

In the first case, the signing of the Small Hydro Power (SHP) Study, aims to identify water resources with generation potential to meet demand in the southern area of Ecopetrol´s operation. An estimated execution time of 2 years is calculated for the study.

Similarly, the consultancy for the measurement of wind and solar potential aims to identify 13 points in the operation, and seek applications that can positively impact on reducing emissions, providing an energy solution that reduces consumption and is economically viable.
